Why does sting look a lot like the crow? Did he just rip off the character? Do a google search and you'll see what i mean. Did he look like that before the movie was realeased? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.58.218 ( talk) 21:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
To the IP, stop changing the title names in the lead. You are changing them to WRONG names. There is no "NWA Championship", it's the "NWA World Heavyweight Championship". The same goes with the other titles. The idea is to be factually correct, which you are no doing. If you think you have a valid reason for using wrong names, please state them here instead of reverting. TJ Spyke 23:01, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Sting's WCW International heavyweight championship does not count towards his world title count because it never was a world title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.167.109 ( talk) 02:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
On Kurt Angle's page, he has 'Godfather of the Main Event Mafia' listed under his nicknames. Sting won the title of godfather from Angle at Sacrifice this year and was refered as being the godfather by others. How is this different from Angle? Either add the name to Sting's list or remove it from Angles if it's a title. 83.183.143.126 ( talk) 22:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC) Padrino
Didn't Tenay call Sting a Twelve-time World Champion a few months back? Seeker of the Torch ( talk) 08:50, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia is well known for including "world title" that are not recognized by anyone bar the promotion they are defended in, such as the WWA title, or the PWG title. Almost all wrestling promotions, regardless or size or location, claim to have a "world title" - wikipedia gives the same credit to, say, the CZW world title, that they do to with WWE title. It's a system that could be resolved by simply going along with Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) - one of, if not the most respected wrestling publication, who have a recognition system of world titles and gives "world title status" to different world titles depending on what level the promotion has reached. But so far, wikipedia has ignored these requests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.206.27 ( talk) 09:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Will has Steve Borden signed with the World Wrestling Entertainment? That will be on everyone's minds after World Wrestling Entertainment aired a promo during Monday Night RAW on 1/31/2011 that was very similar to a promo Steve did for WCW in 1997. Keep in mind the World Wrestling Entertainment has been trying to sign Steve sinse the company is in Atlanta, Georgia this year for the Hall Of Fame/WCW this year for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Until then the WWE Universe will have to wait 2-21-11. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.128.172.55 ( talk) 04:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I love it that Sting hasnt been confirmed to have signed with the WWE and yet his page said it has been confirmed. Sting is currentl a free agent and WWE Reports linking him to the WWE are SPECULATION. 91.105.3.38 ( talk) 19:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Don't have 100% proof of this because I cannot pause the vingettes at the right time. Currently on WWE the 2.21.11 vingettes have been airing. Watch the first and seconds one very carefully. The first one is of Undertaker peeking out of the window from behind a shade just to the left of the door. It opens to reveal someone wearing pants and boots and not the current Undertaker attire he last wore. The second video is more revealing. Undertaker is clearly seen inside the cabin looking out the window, and then outside the cabin is yet another figure also wearing a trenchcoat. The new figure is wearing what appears to be Undertaker's current attire, the one piece singlet yet look very closely at the window when you see this figure and you will clearly see Undertaker still looking out the window. Could this be a teaser for Sting versus Undertaker? There is no proof but how would you get Sting to sign to a WWE contract when he hates the WWE? Offer him something that would make him bigger than when WWE poked fun at WCW stars, in example the Rock to Booker T, "Who are you?" Offer him to break the streak. This is all an opinion but watch the second vingette if you can and you'll clearly see 2 figures wearing trenchcoats. Charles-Joseph ( talk) 06:30, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
OK. I just noticed the 21 February tease on Raw, and I think Sting should get his article protected until February 22 at least, until anything is concrete. That way, random users won't go posting spoilers and stuff. 50.16.114.237 ( talk) 05:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I want to add to this because an edit was made that said Sting was bringing in Chris Benoit and another person to WWE and as we all know Chris Benoit killed himself, as well as his wife and child some years back. So I'm all in favor of a lockdown on this entry. DaMoNZL ( talk) 06:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
A protection for the article sounds good to me. Sting's page was being edited all night during Raw after that first teaser. My first thought after the promo was Awesome Kong. But it could be anyone really, we don't know yet. Usually there's some word on the dirtsheets if someone is signed or close to signing before we see any vignettes on WWE TV, and I haven't seen much of anything about Sting yet.

The man they call Sting has been removed from TNA's current roster —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.115.230 ( talk) 04:19, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
last sentence, opening paragraph, he is arguably the most well-known professional wrestler to have never performed for World Wrestling Entertainment. where does the word arguably come in to play. this is basically a fact. yes, some other well known wrestlers may not have performed in a wwe ring, but have worked for wwe. whether this be behind the scenes, an agent, legends contract. even most of the young guys that are well known in tna have worked for wwe in developmental territories or jobbers. but sting is definitely the most well known to never have worked for them. now my next statement holds irrelevance, i know, and my next statement will make this whole arguably section irrelevant, because it will hold no ground when sting finally appears on a live wwe broadcast in the next month or so. but forgetting that and throwing that out, how in present time is it arguable that sting is not the most well known to have never worked for wwe? 68.34.175.125 ( talk) 18:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

20:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Article states Sting is "currently the only man to hold the NWA, WCW, and TNA World Titles in his career." This may not be true, depending on one's interpretation of the facts. When TNA was founded, their title was the NWA Title. They returned the title to NWA in May 2007, and the TNA Championship was created at that time.
Jeff Jarrett is a six-time NWA Champion, and a four-time WCW Champion. However, since all six of Jarrett's NWA reigns came while the belt was under the exclusive control of TNA Wrestling (and was for all intents and purposes the TNA Championship), it can be argued that this also makes him a six-time TNA Champion. (The counterpoint is that he has not, however, held the title since the NWA belt was returned to the NWA in May 2007.)
Discussion?
Insley ( talk) 03:56, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
No organization nor publication recognizes small-time promotions like the WWA essentially was as having "world titles" - TNA never refer to Sting as a 15 time champion. If we can't practise some common sense, shouldn't we simply list the individual championships (WCW title, NWA title etc.) rather than combining everything together as "world titles" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.205.214 ( talk) 16:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Can any wikipedia admin help me know what's going on with Sting's article because the entire page went just blank today. There's no way that there's something wrong with my computer that I cannot see the article, so I'm now confused about what had just happened to it. Kyrios320 ( talk) 09:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Sting has NOT signed with WWE. Until WWE or STING announces it it is Speculation/Rumor. Please do not add speculation saying he is now working for the WWE. He simply appeared in a tribute interview talking about the death of his best friend. That is not working for them. Plus why wouldnt he do that and it is only speculation from that point on. Since he isnt under TNA contract he can freely appear and since WWE owns his stuff they can make a DVD, even without permission if they wanted to.
This page just has Speculation written all over it. So until a source that actually know's whats up.... WWE or STING. Dont add rumors to this page. BlackDragon 15:36, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Ok I just uploaded a photo of Sting performing the scorpion death drop on Triple H and placed it on Sting's article.But every time I've done that some user has removed it this is a valuable image of him performing his Finsher more so then him breaking a sledgehammer with a bat this need too be on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edge4life42 ( talk • contribs) 21:52, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Ok so where would you place this photo if it's not apart of his legacy a move he's been using for over 20 years then why not in the "in wrestling" like I said means more then him breaking a sledgehammer with his bat. Edge4life42
The photo isn't suppose to convey beauty it's meant too depict his Finsher move also his bat was a more recent addition compared too the scorpion death drop which as I stated been in usage for over 20 years making it legendary. Edge4life42
Could someone please crop the WM31 image within the "WWE (2014–present)" section? I don't know how to replace the existing image file, but I do know that it's needlessly large. Cheers. Phieuxghazzieh ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
To put this to bed, here is Ric Flair's WWE recognized title history.
They credit him with 14 WCW World titles (obviously considering his NWA World Titles as WCW tites), 2 WWE Titles, and 2 WCW International titles.
They recognize him as 16-time World Champion - do the math 14 + 2 + 2 = 18...guess what 2 titles are left out in the cold (hint - it ain't his 2 WWE Titles).
WWE owns the rights to the WCW International title, so if they say it isn't a World title, then their word is law, since it's their title.
Vjmlhds (talk) 14:10, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
WWA isnt a world title, but the WCW International is.
WCW counted it as such. Sting is a 14 Time world Champion 99.195.110.218 ( talk) 22:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Sting patently did not headline Starrcade 1995 (the main event was Flair vs. Savage for the world title), and merely participating in the Battlebowl 1992 battle royal is not notable; only the 1991 edition deserves mentioning since Sting won it.

An edit that added this content was reverted:
Despite Sting having cut a promo on Raw saying the match would not be about the war between the companies "because that would be ridiculous at this point", the match finish has been interpreted as a desire of McMahon to reiterate his victory in the Monday Night Wars, with Scott Hall commenting "That’s Vince just reminding you who won, even if he’s going to make money the other way.”
This is a direct quote from someone involved in the match. Yes, it is Scott Hall's interpretation, but he was there in the match itself and the planning of the match. Hall's point of view matters. Is there a valid reason why this should not be included? Ozdarka ( talk) 10:05, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
You placed it under The Feud with the Authority.If it is that important to you,then please create a separate section for it much like you have here.It has no place being mixed in with a Storyline fued information.Furthermore If I were wrong in the removal of your edit others who contribute to this page more frequently would have reverted it back,clearly that was not the case as there were other edits and reverts made after the one in question.I stand by the decision I made and have nothing further to say on the matter as this is not a forum.

As I was trying to respond to this the first time it was removed. Now that it hasvbeen added back I will respond. My account is no sock of the banner user, I have had edits reverted and removed by that user. I did not ADD back anything of the banned user I removed content that had been removed by the banned user again as it had Outlawed/Unreliable sources that were added back during the reverts. Not sure what i have done similar but my account is not a sock. Yes I have a new account I just created it in February as I am the webmaster for Del "The Patriot" Wilkes and people were posting the incorrect information on his Wikipedia page so I created the account to keep things correct on there.

Wikipedia is well known for including "world title" that are not recognized by anyone bar the promotion they are defended in, such as the WWA title, or the PWG title. Almost all wrestling promotions, regardless or size or location, claim to have a "world title" - wikipedia gives the same credit to, say, the CZW world title, that they do to with WWE title. It's a system that could be resolved by simply going along with Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) - one of, if not the most respected wrestling publication, who have a recognition system of world titles and gives "world title status" to different world titles depending on what level the promotion has reached. But so far, wikipedia has ignored these requests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.206.27 ( talk) 09:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Will has Steve Borden signed with the World Wrestling Entertainment? That will be on everyone's minds after World Wrestling Entertainment aired a promo during Monday Night RAW on 1/31/2011 that was very similar to a promo Steve did for WCW in 1997. Keep in mind the World Wrestling Entertainment has been trying to sign Steve sinse the company is in Atlanta, Georgia this year for the Hall Of Fame/WCW this year for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Until then the WWE Universe will have to wait 2-21-11. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.128.172.55 ( talk) 04:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I love it that Sting hasnt been confirmed to have signed with the WWE and yet his page said it has been confirmed. Sting is currentl a free agent and WWE Reports linking him to the WWE are SPECULATION. 91.105.3.38 ( talk) 19:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Don't have 100% proof of this because I cannot pause the vingettes at the right time. Currently on WWE the 2.21.11 vingettes have been airing. Watch the first and seconds one very carefully. The first one is of Undertaker peeking out of the window from behind a shade just to the left of the door. It opens to reveal someone wearing pants and boots and not the current Undertaker attire he last wore. The second video is more revealing. Undertaker is clearly seen inside the cabin looking out the window, and then outside the cabin is yet another figure also wearing a trenchcoat. The new figure is wearing what appears to be Undertaker's current attire, the one piece singlet yet look very closely at the window when you see this figure and you will clearly see Undertaker still looking out the window. Could this be a teaser for Sting versus Undertaker? There is no proof but how would you get Sting to sign to a WWE contract when he hates the WWE? Offer him something that would make him bigger than when WWE poked fun at WCW stars, in example the Rock to Booker T, "Who are you?" Offer him to break the streak. This is all an opinion but watch the second vingette if you can and you'll clearly see 2 figures wearing trenchcoats. Charles-Joseph ( talk) 06:30, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
OK. I just noticed the 21 February tease on Raw, and I think Sting should get his article protected until February 22 at least, until anything is concrete. That way, random users won't go posting spoilers and stuff. 50.16.114.237 ( talk) 05:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I want to add to this because an edit was made that said Sting was bringing in Chris Benoit and another person to WWE and as we all know Chris Benoit killed himself, as well as his wife and child some years back. So I'm all in favor of a lockdown on this entry. DaMoNZL ( talk) 06:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
A protection for the article sounds good to me. Sting's page was being edited all night during Raw after that first teaser. My first thought after the promo was Awesome Kong. But it could be anyone really, we don't know yet. Usually there's some word on the dirtsheets if someone is signed or close to signing before we see any vignettes on WWE TV, and I haven't seen much of anything about Sting yet.

The man they call Sting has been removed from TNA's current roster —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.115.230 ( talk) 04:19, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
last sentence, opening paragraph, he is arguably the most well-known professional wrestler to have never performed for World Wrestling Entertainment. where does the word arguably come in to play. this is basically a fact. yes, some other well known wrestlers may not have performed in a wwe ring, but have worked for wwe. whether this be behind the scenes, an agent, legends contract. even most of the young guys that are well known in tna have worked for wwe in developmental territories or jobbers. but sting is definitely the most well known to never have worked for them. now my next statement holds irrelevance, i know, and my next statement will make this whole arguably section irrelevant, because it will hold no ground when sting finally appears on a live wwe broadcast in the next month or so. but forgetting that and throwing that out, how in present time is it arguable that sting is not the most well known to have never worked for wwe? 68.34.175.125 ( talk) 18:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Article states Sting is "currently the only man to hold the NWA, WCW, and TNA World Titles in his career." This may not be true, depending on one's interpretation of the facts. When TNA was founded, their title was the NWA Title. They returned the title to NWA in May 2007, and the TNA Championship was created at that time.
Jeff Jarrett is a six-time NWA Champion, and a four-time WCW Champion. However, since all six of Jarrett's NWA reigns came while the belt was under the exclusive control of TNA Wrestling (and was for all intents and purposes the TNA Championship), it can be argued that this also makes him a six-time TNA Champion. (The counterpoint is that he has not, however, held the title since the NWA belt was returned to the NWA in May 2007.)
Discussion?
Insley ( talk) 03:56, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
No organization nor publication recognizes small-time promotions like the WWA essentially was as having "world titles" - TNA never refer to Sting as a 15 time champion. If we can't practise some common sense, shouldn't we simply list the individual championships (WCW title, NWA title etc.) rather than combining everything together as "world titles" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.205.214 ( talk) 16:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Can any wikipedia admin help me know what's going on with Sting's article because the entire page went just blank today. There's no way that there's something wrong with my computer that I cannot see the article, so I'm now confused about what had just happened to it. Kyrios320 ( talk) 09:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Sting has NOT signed with WWE. Until WWE or STING announces it it is Speculation/Rumor. Please do not add speculation saying he is now working for the WWE. He simply appeared in a tribute interview talking about the death of his best friend. That is not working for them. Plus why wouldnt he do that and it is only speculation from that point on. Since he isnt under TNA contract he can freely appear and since WWE owns his stuff they can make a DVD, even without permission if they wanted to.
This page just has Speculation written all over it. So until a source that actually know's whats up.... WWE or STING. Dont add rumors to this page. BlackDragon 15:36, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Ok I just uploaded a photo of Sting performing the scorpion death drop on Triple H and placed it on Sting's article.But every time I've done that some user has removed it this is a valuable image of him performing his Finsher more so then him breaking a sledgehammer with a bat this need too be on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edge4life42 ( talk • contribs) 21:52, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Ok so where would you place this photo if it's not apart of his legacy a move he's been using for over 20 years then why not in the "in wrestling" like I said means more then him breaking a sledgehammer with his bat. Edge4life42
The photo isn't suppose to convey beauty it's meant too depict his Finsher move also his bat was a more recent addition compared too the scorpion death drop which as I stated been in usage for over 20 years making it legendary. Edge4life42
Could someone please crop the WM31 image within the "WWE (2014–present)" section? I don't know how to replace the existing image file, but I do know that it's needlessly large. Cheers. Phieuxghazzieh ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
To put this to bed, here is Ric Flair's WWE recognized title history.
They credit him with 14 WCW World titles (obviously considering his NWA World Titles as WCW tites), 2 WWE Titles, and 2 WCW International titles.
They recognize him as 16-time World Champion - do the math 14 + 2 + 2 = 18...guess what 2 titles are left out in the cold (hint - it ain't his 2 WWE Titles).
WWE owns the rights to the WCW International title, so if they say it isn't a World title, then their word is law, since it's their title.
Vjmlhds (talk) 14:10, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
WWA isnt a world title, but the WCW International is.
WCW counted it as such. Sting is a 14 Time world Champion 99.195.110.218 ( talk) 22:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Sting patently did not headline Starrcade 1995 (the main event was Flair vs. Savage for the world title), and merely participating in the Battlebowl 1992 battle royal is not notable; only the 1991 edition deserves mentioning since Sting won it.

An edit that added this content was reverted:
Despite Sting having cut a promo on Raw saying the match would not be about the war between the companies "because that would be ridiculous at this point", the match finish has been interpreted as a desire of McMahon to reiterate his victory in the Monday Night Wars, with Scott Hall commenting "That’s Vince just reminding you who won, even if he’s going to make money the other way.”
This is a direct quote from someone involved in the match. Yes, it is Scott Hall's interpretation, but he was there in the match itself and the planning of the match. Hall's point of view matters. Is there a valid reason why this should not be included? Ozdarka ( talk) 10:05, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
You placed it under The Feud with the Authority.If it is that important to you,then please create a separate section for it much like you have here.It has no place being mixed in with a Storyline fued information.Furthermore If I were wrong in the removal of your edit others who contribute to this page more frequently would have reverted it back,clearly that was not the case as there were other edits and reverts made after the one in question.I stand by the decision I made and have nothing further to say on the matter as this is not a forum.

As I was trying to respond to this the first time it was removed. Now that it hasvbeen added back I will respond. My account is no sock of the banner user, I have had edits reverted and removed by that user. I did not ADD back anything of the banned user I removed content that had been removed by the banned user again as it had Outlawed/Unreliable sources that were added back during the reverts. Not sure what i have done similar but my account is not a sock. Yes I have a new account I just created it in February as I am the webmaster for Del "The Patriot" Wilkes and people were posting the incorrect information on his Wikipedia page so I created the account to keep things correct on there.

An IP says a portion of the article and a wiki link is poorly written and wants to change "His last ever bout, at Night of Champions in 2015, marked his sole pay-per-view main event and WWE World Heavyweight Championship contest (and title match) for the organization. Sting headlined the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2016 on April 2, where he announced his retirement."
